TO those who are about to have their medicals...I'd be posting our experience soon for your added info.


To those who have paid their RPRF, will appreciate your insights on my questions below:

1 - It says in the VO's letter that I have to pay CAD$490 or Php21,000 for myself and all accompanying family members. Further, it states that the "fees in pesos are subject to change without prior notice so please visit our website for current fees." Would you have any idea where in the CIC website could I find this link?

2 - Also, where would I mail my bank draft representing the RPRF? The letter states that the RPRF can be submitted through courier using the address found at the "upper right hand corner of this letter." But the address indicated on the upper right-hand corner is P.O. Box 2168 Makati Central Post Office, Makati City. Have you used this address to mail your RPRF and was the embassy able to receive your bank draft?

Thanks in advance.

good pm. newbie here. happy to find this site... this really helps and somehow nabuhayan ng pag-asa...ecas states that they recd our application may 05, 2005...in process....nkarecd ako ng letter asking for confirmation if we are still interested nov 01, 2008. i wonder why up to now wala pa uli communication, the fact na nag answer nman ako s letter and faxed it in nov 6, 2008...nareview ko iba cases d2 same year ng pag file ng application, my result na....kelan kaya yun s amin? anybody here na kaparehas ko may 2005 at my development na?thanks and more power.....by the way fm pampanga kmi and i filed my application sariling sikap...no agency

hi jhorez.. i was wondering why you replied to their mail. what was the reason of replying to that letter? it was indicated on paragraph 2 that "if you are no longer interested in immigrating to canada and you wish to withdraw your application, please contact the canadian embassy".. paragraph 3 states that: "if we do not hear from you within this time frame( 90days), we will assume your continued interest in immigrating and your application fees will be retained for future processing".

in short, you are not obliged to respond to their letter if you are still interested in migrating. that's what we did unless otherwise there were some changes in your application. we also received that letter, same date nov. 1, 2008.. thank God we are waiting already for the return of our passports with visa stamped visa on it.. anyway, don't lose hope..

thanks albert_alo for your attention...im hoping that little mistake if ever it is wont affect our application, i was so overwhelmed that time and i thought its only proper to reply.... the way i see it, they have just started processing 2005 applicants, as in your case, feb and another fellow forumer, january... we just have to pray that we will be next in line.... unless june, july, august 2005 applicants will inform me that they have developments same as yours... it would mean something to worry about... again thanks and God bless us all...

mind if ask why u cant deliver the baby in canada, ndpadin? kasi, the way i see it, less hassle kng doon ka na manganganak, di ba?

tska, mppdali visa mo, ksi ako atat na sa visa

Hi mimi,

Due to my current work contract which will end till January next year so I cannot commit to deliver the baby in Canada and also I'm already in my 7 months of pregnancy. Time constraint is killing me as we are still here in Vietnam.

Goodluck to your journey, don't you worry MR k na nian.

hi there!

id like to share my views on ur queries. however, the visa instructions i used when i submitted my full dox were part prior and after the 6/2010 instructions

1. for POF, most forumers interpret that POF should be in cash, ie, CND$16,967 for u and ur dependants must be in cash or cash equivalent. having said that, i suggest u look for a way to come up with the said amount.

2. in the net worth statement, u may show real proprties under ur name at their market value. i think the market value at the back of the tax declaration would suffice as it is based on government valuation, but if u can do it, try to have the land assessed by a private assessor. sabi nila, mas malaki daw assessment value pag private. not so sure on this, though.

3. university-sealed envelope means official envelope of the university where u graduated from. ang ginawa ko dito, i asked for original copies of my credentials and an envelope from the school registrar. nilagyan nya ng paste to close the envelope and signed across its flaps and finally sealed it with transparent tape.

4. RPRF has to be paid pag may request for medical na. however, i've read some threads na pwede din daw bayaran na agad and submit the proof of payment together with the full dox. in my case, i did not.

5. i used a long brown expandable envelope.

lets wait for other forumers to share their thoughts also.

good luck to us all ;D

hello!

we were on the same boat. the difference is that i have already sent my full dox to the visa office in july and got my 2nd AOR on july 13.
here's what i did:

I have previously requested for an original TOR in university-sealed envelope. nakuha ko na yun when i learned about the new 6/2010 instructions. yun na sinubmit ko as i was 10 days short of the deadline given by CIO. but i attached an affidavit explaining why it is not a certified true copy. the way i saw it, CTC should be in DFA red ribbon and i had this sad experience when it took 4 mos b4 i got it.

my CENOMAR na din ako. but i did not include it in the package.

pag may time ka pa, i suggest u follow strictly the new instructions because it said it repeals all previously issued ones. para wlang problema sa VO.

maybe we can ask the assistance of forumers who have agents and on the same situation as u for clarity's sake, also, check for threads which discuss the same thing.

what website/airline is that?!? Do you have connecting flight in US territory? I doubt if it's direct flight for that cheap price.

 

[pamazana]

@ Mari_cnd

of course It's not direct flight. Dalawa tlg ang airlines. Manila-Narita(japan) Japan airlines and
Narita-toronto -air canada. Not bad Airlines, Lalo n yung Japan Air, own monitor/TV in-front of you with video games kahit sa economy.And the travel time period is only 18hrs and 50 mins.The online ticket is the expedia.com
